2 INJURED. An Orlando man was in stable condition Monday after a shooting on Interstate 4 on Sunday. Robert Robbins, 19, was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center after he was hit in his lung by a pellet, Orlando police spokeswoman Joni Gauntlett said. A 15-year-old girl who was a passenger in Robbins' car was treated at the hospital and released. Robbins was westbound on Interstate 4 near the Ivanhoe exit at about 11:45 p.m. when two men in a red Nissan with a New Jersey license plate sprayed his car with pellets. Gauntlett said the shooting apparently started after Robbins told the suspects to stop tailgating him and they began harassing him. Police have no suspects.
